OpenGeofiction:Tarephia
This page is meant to provide general information about the continent of Tarephia. Large parts of the continent are currently still actively being reimagined, so information here will often be in flux as new territories are being established. It's important to note, that none of the borders or guidelines provided in this article are absolute and firm requirements and restrictions. They are merely meant to be inspirations; and such, descriptions are brief, up to interpretation. Territory owners who find their territory does not fall within the descriptions listed on this page are encouraged to notify the continental admin, Taka; so the page may instead be edited to reflect this.
Tarephia as a whole
Tarephia is often described as a combination of North Africa and South America. While this comparison is completely valid in the larger scheme of things, there is no obligation for Tarephia (or any of the OGF world's continents, for that matter), to match to any real world locations one-to-one. Overall, Tarephia is home to all kinds of colonial nations of Ulethan (European) descent, Arabic and Maghreb culture territories, and some Mediterranean cultures, too. Tarephia is also home to a variety of concultures and conlanguages.
The continent is located inbetween the 'old' and 'new' worlds of OGF, with Uletha (old) in the north, and Antarephia (new) in the south. This results in a continent with a mix of colonization, native cultures, and everything inbetween. The climate of the continent is best described as warm, with dry deserts in the northern half, and tropical humidity in the south.
The territories on the continent of Tarephia can loosely be grouped into four regions. Below, each of these regions is outlined more thoroughly, subdivided even further, and described in terms of real world influences, the admin direction for the region, and the current status. All territories within a specific region bear a territory code that begins with the region's number. This way, regions are easily identifiable on the map. Note, that as of writing, this is not yet implemented. The renumbering of territories will happen soon.
The four regions of Tarephia, which can also be seen on the image to the right, are as follows:
- North Tarephia (Region 0)
- East Tarephia (Region 1)
- West and Central Tarephia (Region 2)
- South Tarephia (Region 3)
